About Jennifer

Jennifer Linarello is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Indiana with 23 years of experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, anger, grief, depression, addictions, parenting strain, relationship concerns, ADHD, and other life changes. Her approach is practical and focused on helping people handle everyday problems more effectively.

Jennifer draws from several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and build collaboration, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused ideas and mindfulness practices when they fit a person's needs.

In early sessions she focuses on building rapport and identifying strengths people already have. Then she and the client set clear, manageable goals and pick tools that match those goals. Sessions often include skill practice, moment-to-moment problem solving, and checking how techniques feel in daily life.

Jennifer has worked with a wide range of concerns over two decades, including issues related to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, body image, attachment, and coping after disaster. She offers straightforward support for people who want to reduce snapping at loved ones, manage workplace frustration, or soften built-up resentment.

Sessions are conducted in English and are designed to fit into busy lives. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site process to schedule a first appointment.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. In online sessions this means the therapist prioritizes understanding what matters most to the client and shaping sessions around those concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises. Online CBT sessions often include homework, skill practice, and check-ins to see what is changing.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and everyday routines and together they will pick methods that fit. That collaboration helps decide whether more skills-based work, emotion-focused conversation, or a mix will be most useful.

The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using worksheets, guided mindfulness, and real-time skill coaching while people apply new habits in daily life.
